renameKey throws PathNotFoundException even if SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS is set

[demonbug]

version 2.3.0

Configuration jsonConf = Configuration.defaultConfiguration().addOptions(Option.SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS);

JsonPath.using(jsonConf).parse("{}").read("missing");
JsonPath.using(jsonConf)
.parse("{"list":[{"data":{"old":1}},{"data":{}},{"data":{"old":2}}]}")
.renameKey("$..data", "old", "new");

read will not throw PathNotFoundException but renameKey will.
in this case, old:1 will be renamed, but old:2 will not

This also appears to be the case for delete.

import com.jayway.jsonpath.Configuration;
import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;
import com.jayway.jsonpath.Option;

public class Tester {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String jsonString = "{\"top\": {\"middle\": null}}";
    JsonPath path = JsonPath.compile("$.top.middle.bottom");

    JsonPath.using(Configuration.defaultConfiguration().addOptions(Option.SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS))
        .parse(jsonString)
        .delete(path);
  }
}

Error:

Hello! I would try to help with this issue.

[hezonghan]

Since I cannot find a good way to fix the problem related to delete method, I would open a new issue #721 for it.
I will give a solution there, which just shuts up the exception but not silently continue along an array.
